But only in participating gardens. That cannot be extended to whole populations throughout the country, for the reasons I have given. Your "reasons" are flawed because you don't (?won't, ?can't) understand the concept of sampling. Don't try to make it sound difficult, Malcolm :-) I think you've hit the nail on the head Malcolm. He doesn't want to see any answer which doesn't reinforce his preconceptions and he would appear to know nothing about the dark art of statistical analysis, of which I freely admit my own knowledge is rather scant. So why don't you ask Malcolm how sampling in participating gardens extends to the country as a whole? That's already been explained. No it wasn't. If you thnik it was, where was it explained? And at the same time ask him if it matters if the counts are accurate or not No it doesn't AIUI. Why not? No one has yet answered this question and Malcolm studiously avoids it. I think they have but see my comment in my preceding post. I have. You said; "I think you've hit the nail on the head Malcolm. He doesn't want to see any answer which doesn't reinforce his preconceptions and he would appear to know nothing about the dark art of statistical analysis, of which I freely admit my own knowledge is rather scant". So if you've scant knowledge of the subject how do you know that I "appear to know nothing about the dark art of statistical analysis"? You seem to persist in asking the same question over and over again regardless of answers which in my book is the action of a troll so I won't bother to reply to you again Another quitter? They're falling like flies. But before you go how would you like to be the first to answer the question? "Plonk" Thought you couldn't. |
